Al Gore described Rishi Sunak’s decision to roll back the UK’s net zero policy as “shocking and really disappointing”.
The former US vice president added that British “friends” - including Conservative Party members - have told him they feel “utter disgust” about the controversial decision.
“On a personal basis I find it shocking and really disappointing,” Gore said.
“I think he has done the wrong thing.”
Mr Sunak announced his decision to push back a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the UK from 2030 to 2035 at a Downing Street press conference on Wednesday 20 September.
